HOLLYWOOD star Liam Neeson is considering giving up his Catholic belief and becoming a Muslim.
The actor, 59, admitted Islamic prayer "got into his spirit" while filming in Turkish city Istanbul.
He said: "The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and it's the most beautiful, beautiful thing.
"There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim."
Liam was raised in Northern Ireland as a devout Catholic and altar boy and was named after the local priest.
But the star — whose wife Natasha Richardson died aged 45 in a skiing accident in 2009 — has spoken about challenges to his faith.
He said: "I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What's it all about?
"I'm constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism."
Liam was criticised in 2010 after claiming Narnia lion Aslan — voiced by him in the movies — is not based on Christ as CS Lewis had claimed but in fact all spiritual leaders including Mohammed.
His latest film The Grey, about an oil drilling team who crash in freezing Alaska, is released in the UK on Friday.

What a moron
Weren’t many of those mosques formerly Churches? IIRC, the largest mosque in Turkey is a “victory mosque” that used to be a church before it was conquered.

He’s a limp-wristed peacenik in real life.
He’s a limp-wristed peacenik in real life. I don’t know HOW he thinks he’ll fit in with suicide bombings and beheadings. There’s a demon perched on his shoulder telling him that screeching he hears 5 times a day is “beautiful.”
As far as attacks go, the British were at this FOB first and suffered attacks and overruns until help arrived. The Taliban used to ride around with their AK’s and RPG’s with them.....then the Marines arrived......you hardly see them with even a knife.....and I can't tell you how I know these things.
Sounds like he needs deliverance. Apparently he didn't have his spiritual armor on to combat the demonic influences.
Maybe if Liam spent two weeks in Disney World he’d want to become a Mouseketeer or a Disney character of some kind? If Liam was raised a devout Catholic, what in blazes would make him turn to a beheading murdering religion like Islam? Bizarre and crazy at the least!
Sounds like his wife wasn’t the only one who whacked her head.
Watch “Lawrence of Arabia.” Imagine living in a culture steeped with that and more dependent on Islamist oil than we are. There’s your answer as to why.
Don’t fret none. This imbecile might become a muslim for the thrill of being thought of as ‘spiritual’ but he’ll come back after awhile for another hit from his bong.
Well being gay is “in” and “chic” right now. So after you convert to islam, then you can come out of the closet. Then you new found religion of peace will kill you, and cut you up into little pieces. Now how is that for a movie plot?
Sounds like a foretaste of the strong delusion that”s coming to deceive a lot of people.
Liam, you fecking ejit! Listen to me boyo, you’re goin’ straight to Hell. You’re after wantin’ to be a fecking Saracen are ye? Ya big fecking ejit!!
No big deal, if he is not a Christian what difference does it make what he is, why would the Catholics want him?
Liam Neeson needs prayer
******
Sounds like he needs deliverance. Apparently he didn’t have his spiritual armor on to combat the demonic influences.

Sounds to me like he needs prayer and ear plugs.....mostly, ear plugs.
He's a movie star. ‘Nuff said.
Sick, dangerous political “religion”, and the sick aholes who fall for it.
